Evansville, Ind: Evansville Thunderbolts Head Coach and Director of Hockey Operations Jeff Pyle has signed ECHL goalie Jonah Imoo to this week’s training camp. Imoo played 18 games with the Manchester Monarchs and five games with the Tulsa Oilers last season.

While with the Monarchs, the 6-foot, 172-pound Surrey, BC native, racked up 972 minutes in net. He recorded 7 wins, 4 losses and 2 ties. He had a 0.897 save percentage. Imoo also played two games with the AHL’s Ontario Reign last season.

“We are lucky to get him,” said Pyle. “He is a kid with the potential to put up big numbers and lead us to the playoffs. He has been in the AHL and the ECHL and if he is given a chance to be a number one I think he will get better and better. Confidence and experience go hand in hand.”

Training camp for this season begins this week. Camp begins at 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11 at Ford Center. Camp takes place at Swonder from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, before coming back to Ford Center from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday.
